In May 2013 we found ourselves rushing back from Lake Erie to address the St Lawrence Institute's 20th Annual Symposium on the Great Lakes / St. Lawrence River Ecosystem, on the subject of "St Lawrence tributaries in Ontario as refuges for Unionid Mussels." Several of these tributaries are crossed by the Enbridge/Transcanada pipelines, and consideration of their refuges must be part of planning for any changes to the pipelines.

VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES

This blog reports the Landscape Art & Science visits of biologist Frederick W. Schueler and artist Aleta Karstad to wetlands and watercourses close to sites of proposed industrial activity. Our mission is to visit these places and put their fauna and flora on the public record so that natural communities, vulnerable species, and their essential support system can be taken into consideration when decisions are made. The sale of Aleta's paintings of vulnerable sites supports our work.
